Chrome 30 hits the stable channel with new Android gestures and simpler search by image

n August Google pushed out an update to its Chrome Beta
channel that included quicker access to search by image via a long
press or right click along with a slew of other features. Today, version
30 of the browser is hitting the stable channel, along with its revamp
of gestures for the Android version. Over the coming days, users will
receive an update on their handsets and tablets that moves all the
gestures to the toolbar: swipe down to open the tab switcher and flip
through open tabs by running your finger left or right. Chrome 30 also includes a host of backend
improvements and access to new APIs such as MediaSource and
DeviceMotion, for better integration between webapps and your handheld
hardware. For more details about all the changes to both the mobile and desktop versions of Chrome, hit up the source.
